Many dental and oral diseases in mice and rats can be prevented if certain precautions are taken. Since there are limited treatments for rodent dental disorders, prevention is the best course of action.

Must be tasty!!!
I've fed my mouse this for awhile now; she seems to really enjoy it. And of course since they hide food it must be good as it quite often has a large pile of bedding over it after "breakfast".
The larger pellets aren't a big hit, but she will put one off to the side for munching on later.
Good value.

This product offers a good variety of food items.
This food is a great value for the price. My mice readily eat everything although they do leave behind a few timothy pellets. The food smells fresh and looks fresh with no dust and with very little waste. There is just the right amount of protein. None of my mice are obese on this diet. All of their coats are soft and shiny. I think it is one of the best products out there. I plan to keep purchasing this product.

Great for rats!
Our rats love it! Unlike other mixes, they don't leave very much behind. Even the older rats seem happy, healthy, and fit.

Rats and mice need a certain amount of protein and fat in their diet; you shouldn't feed them "low-fat" foods, as they are omnivores -- unlike hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs, which are herbivores and don't need as much fat.

Of the Rodent family, rats make probably the best pets. They are clean (as long as you clean their cages regularly; you can even litter train them, if you know how), and they are more friendly and intelligent than any other pet rodent. The only thing people don't tend to like is the tail; it grosses them out, I guess, but you get used to it. Rats also live longer than most small rodents, on average.

Thank you for your question. The label on the bag is black and orange and has a picture of 2 rats, white one on hind legs and bi-color one on all fours. The bag also has the list of ingredients on the left side.

I'm just curious as the rest of the mix looks fantastic - but rats cannot digest alfalfa (and I've read many places that mice prefer not to eat it if possible), and corn is very high in sugar. Too high, in fact. Will Drs. F&S ever be reformulating this to make it... actually palatable for rats? While alfalfa is high in calcium, it's very difficult for rats to digest and I've heard too much of it can cause diarrhea.
